Great! How were the clinical sites? Did you get some good experiences at CRNA only sites? I had a good vibe after the interview and am looking forward to getting started.

I sent in my deposit today, anyone else accepted/attending?

Congrats...yeah, the distance might not be fun, but I think it may enable us to get some more unique experiences in smaller community hospitals that are more autonomous to CRNAs. I'm at Mayo, where are you at in the Cities? Good luck at Rush.

That makes sense. Yeah, we don't have any kids, but I imagine that makes it that much more difficult to be away. I have doubts about Mayo's program. I really didn't want to stay in Rochester as the town is as boring as it gets. I have heard the program sets you up to be a "Mayo CRNA." They only have one rotation out of Rochester and it is still within the Mayo system. I want to feel that I can practice independently in a variety of settings upon graduation. I don't want an MD looking over my shoulder the entire length of the program. And I'll be a CRNA nine months sooner than if I waited and went through the Mayo program starting next fall, meaning less time wiping butts!
